Muscles that Move the Arm01:31

Muscles that Move the Arm

4.0K
Nine muscles are involved in arm movements. Two of these, the pectoralis major and latissimus dorsi, originate from the axial skeleton and are called axial muscles. The other seven originate from the scapula and are called the scapular muscles.
The pectoralis major has two origins. Its clavicular head originates on the medial half of the clavicle. In contrast, the sternocostal head originates on the costal cartilages of ribs 1-6, the sternum, and the aponeurosis of the external oblique of the...

Muscles of the Shoulder

8.0K
The muscles surrounding the shoulder girdle, including the clavicle and scapula, primarily stabilize the scapula. This stable base allows other muscles to move the humerus effectively. Scapular movements often mirror those of the humerus and extend its range of motion. For instance, raising the arm above the head would not be feasible without simultaneous upward rotation of the scapula.
Anterior Thoracic Muscles
The anterior thoracic muscles include the serratus anterior, subclavius, and...

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Sports Medicine
  • Musculoskeletal Research

Background:

  • Rotator cuff pathology is a leading cause of shoulder dysfunction and treatment seeking.
  • A previous review by Schmidt et al. (2015) provided a foundation on rotator cuff pathology.
  • This review updates the literature with the latest evidence-based advancements.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present an updated review of evidence-based medicine for rotator cuff repair.
  • To discuss recent advancements in surgical and reconstructive techniques for rotator cuff pathology.
  • To cover primary repair, revision repair, and novel reconstructive options.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of recent evidence-based medicine.
  • Discussion of primary rotator cuff repair techniques.
  • Analysis of revision repair strategies and reconstructive options.

Main Results:

  • The review synthesizes current data on primary and revision rotator cuff repairs.
  • It examines emerging reconstructive techniques including superior capsular reconstruction, subacromial balloon spacers, and tendon transfers.
  • The utility of reverse total shoulder arthroplasty for specific cases is also discussed.

Conclusions:

  • Evidence-based medicine continues to evolve for rotator cuff pathology management.
  • Advanced reconstructive techniques offer new solutions for complex rotator cuff tears.
  • This review provides a current overview of treatment options for shoulder surgeons.
